On the Nunhead Forum, The Beer Shop London team have shared their plans to create a micro pub in the middle of Nunhead. They say:

We wanted to introduce ourselves as we have made the application for change of use at 40 Nunhead Green.
What we plan to do is open a micro pub, a space which focuses on serving really good beer! We will be serving local London based brewers, a rotational range direct from cask, and a selection of craft bottles to be accompanied by carefully selected spirits, wines and soft drinks. We hope it will be a friendly place for locals to meet over a beer.More discussion of this one here.

Excellent. Ignore the weird pessimists on the forum. None of the nearby pubs are doing the "craft beer thing" right. I will definitely traipse from Crofton Park for this, but not for any of the existing pubs/shops doing craft beer in Nunhead. There is a market for it and I look forward to trying you out!

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone who supported our planning application, we're pleased to say that the change of use has been granted. We've just submitted the licensing application, full details can be found online here: http://app.southwark.gov.uk/licensing/licenseregister.asp and the application number is: 846094. Once again, your support would be greatly appreciated!
